Okay, basically I made another thread about it sometime back but didn't post how to do it so that not everyone would have international teams. But I'm gonna do it now, just think people should play as they wish so here it is. It's really easy.
First of all, you will need to download a hex editor. Any will work, but I'll use one from this site, it's free, download any version.

Once you've downloaded it, just open it. I will change Northamptonshire to Pakistan. Just a note, you can change to any team but the team name you're changing to has to have less number of characters than the team you're changing from. So you can't for example change from Surrey to Pakistan( maybe there's some way but I don't know yet), but Northamptonshire( with 8 more characters) it's possible. So basically once you have it open, you just want to drag your file or open it from the hex editor. It will then look something like this:
Then what we're gonna do is on the right side where we see the team name, we're gonna change it to another team. So we click on "N", and then type Pakistan. It will basically replace the first 8 characters with Pakistan. It's not done yet because we have to get rid of the remaining part of Northamptonshire. So what we do is as soon as the word "Pakistan" ends, we click the next letter( in this case "t"), and it will highlight the '74' hex digit on the left, we then just click there and start replacing it with 00 until we're done editing the whole remaining name, notice each time we add 00, it will form a little box on the right. We do this until the whole remaining name is replaced. When we're done, it will look like this:
Now the third box we see after the team name, we click there, it will highlight some hex digit on the right, we put 01. What it will do is get rid of that Domestic Tables section in the game since we don't need it anymore, otherwise if you click there it will just crash your game. Now save the game and load to see if you have your new team. Usually it will just skip the whole thing until the end of the season, so you only get your new team the next season. Sometimes when you change to another team and it's skipping it will crash the game, which it did in my case but I think that's because I started a new file with a county team without even selecting new players that you have to do in ICC 2006 when you first start a new game. But it might still crash sometimes so usually it's best to just skip your game until you're about to just go in the new season, then save it and then change since it won't have the time to skip, it won't crash, and you only get your new team the next season. Also before playing any game online, you have to select a squad offline otherwise it will crash I think. So that's it, I guess I could have finished the whole thing in a few sentences but I wanted to make sure I explained everything. And ofcource make a back-up copy before you edit your game.
